    By degrading women to purchasable “baby producers”, commercial surrogacy has been accused by feminists of commodifying women’s bodies in a manner akin to prostitution. Also creating a commercial market for human bodies is inherently exploitative. Some argue that commercial surrogacy strips birthmothers of their natural rights. Most countries consider the birthmother (not necessary the biological mother) to be the legal mother unless she freely chooses to put her child up for adoption (without coercion or payment).

      By denying women who are willing to provide that service (for the right price), you are also denying all gay couples the right to have children related to them, which I would argue is actually the real reason, and the “it degrades women” thing is just a bullshit cover for homophobia and incel/eugenics culture.

      “Don’t let the gays reproduce and spread their degeneracy” etc etc
